Weird News & Links (Week of 01.03.10)

This week's edition of Weird News should be useless to 99.99% of the
population, but extremely useful to the remaining 0.01%. Included
amongst that minority would be: Persons who are desperately seeking a
Kenny Rogers impersonator, fans of preteen early 00s rap superstar Lil'
Romeo, cops who have sex in church, and Christians who believe they
may be possessed by a demon.

Members of a New Mexico family are suing a funeral home,
claiming their
grandmother's brain was sent home in a bag of personal effects given to
them after her death.

The lawsuit filed on behalf of four family members in state District
Court in Albuquerque says the discovery was made the day after
interment, when relatives smelled a foul odor coming from a bag they
received from [the funeral home].

Police say a Pennsylvania man in a hospital gown stole $50
from his
ex-girlfriend at Wal-Mart, then tried to flee on a store-owned
motorized shopping scooter. [He] had just been released from a hospital
for injuries in a domestic dispute [and] had been hit with a frying pan
and table leg.

David was still in a hospital gown Tuesday night when he met an
ex-girlfriend who agreed to pay for his prescription medication.
Instead, police say he grabbed $50 from her and scooted away.

Toledo Police say [the woman] stopped at the fast-food
restaurant at
Front and Main Streets in East Toledo early Friday morning and asked
for chicken nuggets. When the drive-thru attendant told her the
restaurant was only serving breakfast and that the item was not
available, Dushane reached through the window and punched the attendant
in the mouth.

After a night manager came to the window, Dushane began swinging her
fists at her. The manager attempted to pull Dushane through the
window by her hair. After being released, Dushane then punched
through the drive-thru's glass window.

A 91-year-old man who crashed his car into a popular
Florida restaraunt
proceeded to sit down and order breakfast near his vehicle, authorities
said.

"[He] sat down and ordered breakfast right after the crash," [a fire
department spokesman] said. "He sat close to where the crash occurred
so he could keep an eye on his car."

Port Orange Assistant Police Chief Wayne Miller said Pierce was
attempting to park Monday at the restaurant when he pressed the
accelerator "one too many times" and the vehicle slammed through the
glass window of the cafe.

Police in southern Germany said an officer has been
suspended from duty
after allegedly having sex in a Catholic church during a service.
Regional police spokesman Hans-Peter Kammerer told the German news
agency DAPD on Monday that the 26-year-old faces possible disciplinary
measures and a criminal complaint for allegedly disturbing religious
activities.

He said a visitor discovered the officer with a woman in the church in
Rennertshofen, near the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt, during an
early-morning service last Thursday.

No offense to this guy, but I'm fairly sure that most people under the
age of 40 wouldn't even give
a shit if the REAL Kenny Rogers showed up at their party, let
alone an
impersonator. But whatever, give him a call for one of your parties if
you want to. I'm sure he's a nice enough guy to have a chat with if
you're a Kenny Rogers fan (and honestly, who isn't?)
